Sorry, I cannot really follow what you mean ... did I do something wrong? :(

Glad we're talking about the same things now :) Cool that you can do such things
with Bishop3D! I may have a look at what it is capable of.

However, maybe it was not really beyond you. I just had a look at SharkD's code,
and (again without actually thinking very much) I just found two little bugs.
There was just a factor of 2 missing here and there :D It now works in gives
exactly the results without the screen.inc. Hope you like it :)

JUST A SHORT question beyond that... using the screen.inc camera setting method
it seems that I cannot rotate the camera anymore, but need to use the sky-vector
instead. How do I do this? :)

Thanks for your help.
Best,
Carlo
